Description

4-Bromo-3-Trifluoromethyl-Benzenethiol CAS NO 1208076-57-6 is a high-purity organosulfur compound featuring a reactive thiol (-SH) group and a bromine substituent on a trifluoromethylated benzene ring. This unique structure makes it a versatile and valuable building block for synthesizing complex molecules in advanced chemical research and development. It is primarily sought after by researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science industries for creating novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• As a key pharmaceutical intermediate in the synthesis of potential drug candidates, particularly those targeting specific enzyme inhibition.
• Utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides with enhanced activity.
• Serves as a versatile ligand precursor or functional monomer in materials science for creating specialized polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Used in organic synthesis for constructing complex molecules via thiol-ene "click" chemistry or palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
• Acts as a building block for liquid crystal and advanced electronic material development due to its aromatic and halogenated structure.
• Employed in chemical biology for protein labeling and bioconjugation strategies.

Quality Control

Our 4-Bromo-3-Trifluoromethyl-Benzenethiol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and identity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and support your R&D and scale-up activities.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace and exposure to air after opening.
